LOOOOOOOOOOL

Oh well that's fucking clever. A threat actor is sending out phishing emails pretending to be SendGrid, and explaining that all their emails will include "Support ICE" banners in order to trigger ragebait clicks through to the phishing kit.

An early look at the accessibility work going on in Servo. Part of Igalia's Sovereign Tech Fund project.

If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine. I'm in #Uganda They cut off internet during elections and it has now been partially restored.

I do wonder if there are anybody actually using GPU compute, be it AI/ML or "old-fashioned", for accessibility purposes?

I played around with some tools doing speech-to-text, but what I'm trying to figure out is, if "make sure rusticl/OpenCL works everywhere" if that actually also helps folks with disabilities.

And I'd happily focus my testing on making sure those things do work everywhere.

Can git.kernel.org please not have Anubis difficulty set to 5? It takes a very long time to solve on my old computer and certainly others too, and in general it shouldn't be needed.

lore.kernel.org is set to 4, so why set to 5 for git?

I've never seen a terrorist organization do a better job than ICE of fucking up American communities.

Most terrorists blow something up or murder a few people. ICE has a huge body count and has caused more damage to America than any other organized paramilitary group outside of the KKK (but let's face it—it's still the Klan, just with new outfits).

Whisper Pair is a vulnerability in most accessories implementing Google Fast Pair.

• Attacker can pair remotely when the accessory is not in pairing mode. Therefore, attacker gets to control the media playback and listen on microphone, when in range, trivially, with zero interaction from the owner.

• There is no way to mitigate this vulnerability. Most accessories do not have a way to disable Google Fast Pair. The only way to stop being vulnerable is a software update for the accessory’s firmware that patches it.

• If your accessory is not associated with a Google account, the attacker can associate your accessory with their Google account. This allows you to be physically tracked with Google Find Hub, indefinitely. You may receive a notification “You are being tracked by [Your Accessory]”. Do not ignore this; it is not a false positive.

• It is perhaps easier to stalk Apple users this way because they are less likely to already be using Google Find Hub.

One thing I learned while working on FOSS is to never take "not working" for an answer.

It's FOSS! You have the right to modify everything! You can try to get that thing working, even if you don't succeed, you can document what you tried so the next person can refer to that :D

So somebody took a couple of LWN's recent conference articles, threw them into an LLM blender with some other stuff, and produced ... this ...

https://www.webpronews.com/linux-kernels-future-tab-integrates-rust-navigates-ai-boosts-collaboration/

Google News propagates that stuff - something they have long refused to do with LWN's original material. But somehow we're supposed to continue to exist to feed material into that machine?

Sorry, having a grumpy day.
